Services offered to a diverse pool of clients are:

Research design and implementation

As the premier independent research center in Cyprus, we offer research services to a diverse pool of clients. In-depth qualitative and quantitative tools for data collection and analysis are integrated to provide quality scientific results. Examples of research projects recently completed include a large scale study to examine the reading habits of young children, a study to examine the needs of youth migrants residing in Cyprus, and research conducted to investigate the trends of entrepreneurship among women.

Monitoring, evaluation, and needs assessment

Proper monitoring and evaluation are essential for the successful completion of projects. A recent example is CARDET’s three year contract with the Ministry of Education and Culture for the evaluation and monitoring of the implementation of the Zones of Educational Priority, implemented in 42 Cyprus public schools. Another example is the learning needs assessment conducted for the Cyprus Academy for Public Administration. The project identified the learning needs of all managers in the public service in the areas of leadership, management, and strategy.

Learning design & Curriculum development

With a core team of qualified learning designers we engage in curriculum design and development in a variety of sectors both for Face-to-Face and Online Environments. Examples of projects include the project Design-Practice and Social Electricity, for which we developed curricula and courses in the areas of green energy, learning design, and digital literacies.

Competency mapping

Following verified competency frameworks we engage in competency mapping and task analysis for identifying and clearly defining the competencies required for carrying out specific jobs. A clear example of this includes the project CATS (Leonardo Development of Innovation) during which we mapped the competencies needed in the green energy sector.

Strategic planning and visioning

Following our custom developed process for reflecting on the past, understanding the present and designing the future, we facilitate strategic visioning workshops and develop strategic plans for public and private organizations.
